Flows have been hanging in there giving us a little more time to fish down here. Water temps are straight up perfect in the mornings but there hasn't been much in the way of any sort of hatch while I've been there. Maybe the occasional mayfly, or Caddis fluttering around, but the fish really aren't that picky if you've got even a halfway decent drift. Skating a terrestrial has been working if you're having trouble setting the hook, they practically hook themselves! I haven't been fishing it in the evenings because the water temps are hovering around 70 and the fish don't really want to come out to play when the waters that warm so give them a break and fish in the mornings.
